Nimh placed his hand on mine, stroking the back of my hand. At this rate, it seemed as if his heart was going to pop right out of his chest! "Your heart! Are you okay!?" I slowly pressed against his chest, hoping it would somehow slow his heartbeat. His face was as red as a tomato and I felt his heartbeat quicken. "I-If you're feeling better, then so am I." His ears folded against his head as I reached up and caressed his cheek. "H-Huh?" Nimh looked down at me and began stroking my hair. It was so fast! Almost as if it wasn't even human! "U-Uh.Nimh?" I sniffled. I placed my hand on his chest, feeling his rapid heartbeat. As I turned my head to breathe, I suddenly heard his heart pounding faster than ever before. He rubbed his hand up and down my shoulder, calming me. Nimh held me and rocked from side to side, humming a tune, trying to soothe me, but the tune was a little shaky. I buried my face into Nimh's chest and cried. My heart began pounding as I relived the nightmare through my words and in my head. Being unable to save him as the house collapsed.

Suddenly being pulled out my an invisible force. He held me close to his chest as I told him what had happened in the nightmare.

"Would you tell me about the n-nightmare?" His face was bright red thanks to our position. Instead of laying me down on the bed, he sat on my bed, back against the wall, and held me in my lap. This caught me off guard, so I instinctively wrapped my arms around the back of next and clung to him. He picked me up bridal style and carried me to my bed.

He must've thought there had been an actual fire and totally panicked. He looked down at me, stroking my hair, heaving a sigh of relief. "N-No." I said, gripping his pajama sleeve. "What!?" Nimh cried, looking around frantically. "T-There was a-a fire." I stuttered between my sobs. "Are you hurt? W-What happened?" His voice was so filled with concern that I almost felt bad for having a nightmare. "A-Are you okay?" He ran his fingers through my hair. "(Y/N)!" Nimh cried, pulling me close to him. I practically fell out of my bed as I rushed to my bedroom door, but someone got to it before I could. I sat up against my headboard, my eyes darting wildly around the room. I woke with a scream, clutching my heart. "Why isn't anyone doing anything!?" Suddenly, the roof collapsed and the house became ashes (totally not foreshadowing for future chapters). I noticed no one was going inside, going to help Nimh. "N-No! I need to!" I looked around as tears filled my eyes. "No! You cannot go back in there!" One of them said.

But two firemen appeared at my side, holding me back. "NIMH!" I shrieked, trying to run back to the house. When I looked back up at the house, it was being engulfed in flames. I was thrown out of the house and on my front lawn. "Nimh! There's a-" Suddenly a force was grabbing me by the foot, pulling me out of the house. I opened the oven, and suddenly fire burst out, spreading across the kitchen. I hurried down the stairs, following the smell. When I inhaled, I took note that there was.a strange smell in the air. We had technically shared our first kiss already, but we still acted like best friends. But I'm not entirely sure about how he feels. Nimh was fast asleep in his bed, his cute big ears covering his eyes. I tiptoed into the guest bedroom, cracking open the door. Thank you for the request and the suggestion!
